The Language Of Relationships In Christian Education, Robert E. Rediehs

Bachelor of Divinity

Our Church has been accused of intellectualism. Our educational efforts are said to have produced a "confirmation complex,” resulting in a false understanding of the Christian faith. However, in actual practice the Church teaches both by its words and by its non-verbal setting. It is thought that it would be helpful to study this nonverbal context, especially in terms of relationships. As a suggestion for a partial remedy this thesis explores the media of personal relationships for education.

The Educational Ideas And Methods Of The Brethren Of The Common Life, Clifford H. Peterson

Bachelor of Divinity

The background to the educational work of the Brethren in this study included: the medieval school, the rise of public-controlled education, and the mystical movements in northern Europe during the late medieval period. It is against this background that the philosophy and work of the founder of the Brethren, Gerard Groote and the life and educational work among the Brethren are seen in the perspective of their times. The aims and reforms of two of their outstanding schools, those of John Cele and Alexander Hegius, also compliment this educational picture. As a result, the scope of this study might be …

A Survey Of The Confirmation Instruction Of The Children Within A Pastoral Conference, Robert T. Koehler

The Training And Education Of Saul Of Tarsus, Arlo Krueger

Bachelor of Divinity

In undertaking a study of this nature there are two possible avenues of approach. The one is the rationalistic approach, and the other we might call, for want of a better name, the reverent approach. Both of these methods of approach have their advocates and adherents among students of St. Paul's life. And it is right at this point where the majority of divergences have their origin. The one approaches the subject from a rationalistic, the other from a reverent standpoint; and consequently both arrive at widely divergent conclusions. Therefore it is of primary significance that, before entering upon our …

Education, Psychology, And Religion As Factors In Creating Happiness Among The Deaf, O C. Schroeder

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of the study of aids to happiness among the deaf is to portray spiritual blessings rather than to evaluate the benefits of education and material success. To a large extent this treatise is narrative and descriptive. Our interest, however is not in narration and description per se, but only as they portray the causes of, and the means to, the promotion of happiness among the deaf.
